2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Exploitation, Analysis, and Navigation for Military, Educational, and Recreative Purposes Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Luis Nunes The Geographic Institute of the Army is the cartographic institution responsible for the Portuguese base map, which is the most used information in GIS for civilian and military purposes. This project consists in development of a support appealing tool using MapObjects 2.2, integrating data from the production flow in vector, matrix and raster formats, at diverse scales, like orthophotos (1:10K), cartography (1:25K till 500K), satellite imagery, Military Cadastre database, Toponomic Report and the standard military products VMap 1 and 3, DTED 1 and 2, CADRG and GeoTIFF. Tools allow visualization, attribute and spatial search, coordinate transformation, image georeferencing, network analysis and real time GPS navigation with digital radio transmission, among others. Ultimate goal was availability to the general public, military academies, universities and schools, allowing a higher knowledge, deeper education and improved exploitation of Digital Geographic Information.
